Post-Treatment Instructions

  • Use a gentle cleanser and apply moisturizer at least twice daily for a minimum of 7 days post treatment.

  • Be careful of sun exposure for 2 weeks.
  • Avoid excessive heat 3 days post treatment, i.e., heavy workouts, steam rooms or saunas, etc.
  • Avoid chlorine for 24 hours.
  • Avoid facial waxing for 7 days.
  • Avoid facial fillers and Botox for 2-4 weeks based on area.
  • Do not pick, scratch, or aggressively rub the treated area.
  • No scrubs, polishers, or aggressive brushes should be used for 5-7 days.
  • DO apply serums, as absorption levels will be elevated in the skin.

  • It is best to relax and allow the Aesthetician to move and manipulate the position of your head or face.
  • Try to remain still.
